Unless you're expecting a huge lightgun revolution (and why would you when it's called House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return?) there's not much here that'll disappoint. Xbox 360 World will concede that it's ugly, but the dated visuals carry a certain retro charm.
And at 30 minutes per game there's plenty to keep you occupied, even without factoring in the all the extra modes. For Xbox 360 World's money it has neither the charm nor the 'one-more-go' appeal of Ghost Squad (nor the Party mode for that matter), but the wealth of other options makes up for some of that. Second place, it seems, doesn't have to mean second rate.

We’ve seen the Top Ten Startling/Disturbing/Scary Games, Top Ten Scary Moments in Non-Scary Games, Top Ten Creepiest Silent Hill Monsters and Top Ten Creepy Things in Gaming and after all this time we never looked at the characters in the game but rather always the genre. This isn’t about what makes a game scary it’s about Halloween’s best character…Zombies. Why zombies? Well, Zombies for some reason Zombies are big now, and I may have had my time in Toronto Zombie Walks in the past, so we love us some Zombies and know a thing or two about them. And why do we love Zombies? Because they’re a bloody good time and you don’t have to feel bad about killing them. They’re just bags of blood ready to be explodededed. So let’s take a look of the games that have you fighting on hordes of Zombies, this is the Top Ten Zombie Massacre Games. "
"The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return released for the Nintendo Wii on March 11, 2008. The game was published by Sega, and it received an ESRB rating of "MATURE" with "Blood and Gore, Violence" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
How many hours of gameplay can you expect battling the undead in The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return if you haven't played it? How many U.S. Wii owners have reported playing the game, and how many hours have they reported playing it since the game released over 4 years ago? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
GameDynamo - "It took video games much longer to develop decent voice acting than it did to develop voice acting in the first place. This was especially true for translated Japanese games, as many of the game companies were completely unprepared at matching lip flaps and matching the language to an English sentence structure and cultural context. "
lmao oooooh dante.
I think that was also a problem with the writing, because that Line is far too long to deliver with emotion and emphasis at the end......
try repeating it....
"I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with Liiiiiiiiiiight!"
its just not written to be yelled, it should have been spoken softly.
and WHY the hell does Elmer Fudd voice the roll of Megamans creator lmao!
these voices were terrible but in a good memorable way.. I didnt think MMX4 was toooo bad.. MMs voice sucks in every game hes in cuz he sounds like a lil girl.. But Zeros was fine.. Castlevania was terribly awesome.. Starfox too.. For the most part, it was capcom & segas cheap a$$e$ hiring family members or street bums to save money, instead of paying for quality work lol
It's a fun game and works pretty well. Definatly great for light gun fans ^^
